This is a discussion on BMW 335i soon to be WRX Premium 5-door within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Yea, I heard once you get the mod bug, its over!
I changed my shift nob on the 335 and ...

i cant tell you much about numbers for the newer generations but a 2.0L wrx with a full exhaust and a pro tune running the turbo to its limits can put out sti type power

newer wrx's come with a bigger engine and a bigger turbo from the factory so you do the math lol...

price wise it depends on what you get... my exhaust ran me about a grand but thats canadian dollars which includes shipping and customs charges etc etc a custom tune will usually be about 500$ give or take... an accessport which isnt as good as a custom tune is like 6 or 700$ but it has its gimmicks...

Hey, I couldn't help but notice this thread...I actually created my account for these forums just to post a reply =P

I myself own a 2008 WRX and it is AWESOME. I've driven it for the past year after having moved on from my previous car (a 2001 Nissan Maxima). I haven't put any mods on my car, but it still feels like a beast. It sticks to the road on every curve and it's ability to accelerate is just amazing.

My 2008 WRX has about 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque, but the 2009 and (I think) 2010 models have 265 hp with 244 lb-ft of torque. I have heard rumors that the advertised 265 hp of the newer WRX models is the WHP, as opposed to the horsepower that is advertised for most other cars (including the 2008 WRX) in which the BHP is advertised instead. I don't know how valid this is. Could anyone confirm this?

Anyways, I highly recommend the WRX, as it is a very fun car to drive. I've never driven the STI, but I'm sure it only gets better!

By the way...the 3rd gear is killer!!!

Sweet...thanks for your post. The third gear pull on the BMW is amazing as well...my favorite. I actually had to order the 335 just to get in in stick. Once I get the WRX I will post pics of both.
